Festival of Frugality #290 – Going on Vacation

It is our absolute pleasure to be hosting the Festival of Frugality this week. As you know, the Festival of Frugality contains the best articles on frugality and saving money from sites big and small. This week we’re going on vacation so I thought we’d share some of our tips on going away.

Tip: Depending on where you are traveling, try buying food supplies when you arrive a a place like Wal-Mart, Target, or Costco rather than depend on restaurants and fast food. You can save a ton and because you are buying it there you save on space.

Tip: Know your kids. A vacation with a lot of walking attractions, like historical destinations, can be great but your kids have to be able to walk it all and stay focused as well. Younger children will only tolerate so much before they get cranky. Either break up the walking part or understand you have to save some of the history for when they are older.

And that’s the Festival of Frugality! I hope you enjoyed. Make sure you check out next week’s edition at My Journey to Millions.
